How can a RWD car TQ steer? TQ steer happens in FWD cars with unequal length halfshafts. LOL

What kit, what boost?

I hope u mean wheel spin, as a passenger u shouldnt be able to feel torque steer, it comes through the steering wheel and on FWD cars.

I would have offered, but you already have a Greddy and your in MD, so it would be a long drive to FT in VA.

Good luck and I will suggest the drivers make sure their cars/tires are warmed up and they are sure the roads are in good condition (not wet/ icy or sandy).. Last thing anyone wants to hear is: I wrecked my Z giving a demo ride.

Its winter guys please be safe.

PS: 700whp is fine as long as you know how to apply that power. Nice and steady is the key. ;-)

LOL I hope your joking......Torque steer does not only apply to only a front wheel drive vehicle, when I bought my Z the original owner had another Z owner with him I asked him for a ride. The vehicles pulls to the right and left violently it was hard for him to control call it what you want I call it torque steer, it was fast as hell.

Yup. Thats correct. Its a built motor APS single. No twins just yet. Lets see what this single will do. It's not quite done yet, but Dave finished breaking in the motor yesterday, which went VERY well. So soon, very soon. If you want a ride in a single just let me know, but I think you're looking for twins the way I understood it.

Please get your $hit straight. What your describing is WOT a$$ out getting sideways, that is not TQ steer! If a stock Z or bolt-on Z was hard to control there was a serious alignment/tire/driver problem.
